intrikate88Andrew Lloyd Weber says he's thinking about writing a sequel to Phantom of the Opera. And we all went, "....the FUCK?"
You know about Wondermark comic, right? You do now.
"We believe the request ... to inscribe a birthday wish to Adolf Hitler is inappropriate," said Karen Meleta, a ShopRite spokeswoman. Aw, lady, he's just three. Look at that face.
New Years:
I don't actually know what the Southern traditions for New Years are, really. I know they involve black beans and rice and collard greens and cornbread and all that, but I don't know why. (My parents are from Minnesota and Miami! They're ignorant!) Anybody want to enlighten me? Or I could google it. OR I COULD JUST INVITE BAD LUCK AND SEE WHAT SHOWS UP.
In the meantime, the Scottish have a wonderful traditions of fireworks, snogging, and drinking like most countries do, but they call it Hogmanay. In Edinburgh, this involves dragging a flaming Viking ship up Calton Hill. I went to Edinburgh, which is as hilly as your horizontal grandmother's torso, and I must admit I would LOVE to see a bunch of drunk folks dragging anything that large from the castle, down the Royal Mile, all the way to Calton Hill and then up to the top. Yeah.
I'm sure that investigations into The Mystery of the Head in the Bag, however, will not be interrupted by any of the jovialities. (I know who's in the bag. It's Godot. So we can stop waiting for him.)***
Wait, isn't this the same part of the world where Lysistrata was set? Aw, ladies, don't mind me. I don't put out either. No, I resist- yes, even the jaguar-humping-a-cheese-grater position.(ETA: oh, look, lol, they even mention Lysistrata!) But I hope the sex strike works to bring about greater fireworks safety. Or, y'know... just practice better fireworks safety, men.
So what are my plans? Going downtown, getting drunk, sucking face with strangers at the stroke of midnight? ABSO-FUCKING-LUTELY.
Actually, cursing at my computer's stupidity, and staying in and reading and writing and maybe watching a few eps of Alias or something with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
andi_horton sounds more likely. Not a bad plan, though!
***if you got the Samuel Beckett reference, then you get a few points. If you got the Thursday Next reference, then you win the rest of the points in the bag. If you continued and made a Buffy reference, I will snog you at the stroke of midnight. But you must prove this by telling me to which character and season the Godot quote was in reference, and I, with Dr. Horrible-Commentary Joss, will call you a fucking nerd.)
